Replacing a bent rim on 2005 TSX
Good evening everyone! I hit a water-filled pothole (crater!!!) and bent a rim on my 2005 TSX. The Acura dealer has quoted me nearly $600 for a new one. Can anyone suggest where I can find a used stock replacement? Thank you in advance!!

I agree that ebay is your best bet. Unfortunately you're limited to the 04 and 05 model years as the wheel design is different for the 06, 07, and 08 models. Once you do find a replacement wheel, you might want to consider getting the original wheel fixed. Or, if you could go without the car for a week or so, you could just get the bent wheel fixed (assuming you didn't completely destroy it, and since it was just a pothole hit, it's most likely fixable). It's amazing what a good wheel repair shop can do.

Update--with thanks!
The rim is very badly bent; a lasting repair isn't likely. I will consider changing out all 4 of the rims when I have more time to do research (with help from you and this site!). While I found an '04 factory rim on eBay, my local used auto parts shop found me an identical replacement--and will have it for me on Tuesday! Thank you both so much for your help!
